I’ve been lucky enough to get to listen to quite a few different speakers and brands lately at a couple of local hi-fi shops, and I have a question for all of the audiophiles in this subreddit. What speaker has the best soundstage that you have ever heard?
Genelec 8351B.
Depth, width, size, image density, space between images, stage placement?
Primarily speaking width, though space between images is also important
Kef is great, Buchardt is great, my KLH Model 5’s are great, and Klipsch’s Heritage Line is generally really solid.
If money is no object, Wilson Audio is absolutely incredible.
But what also helps soundstage immensely is proper acoustic treatment and speaker placement.
Planar or electrostatics, next is anything with a single unit driver. Single point source = accurate soundstage.
Best speakers I’ve ever heard were Sonus Faber Aida paired whit McIntosh monoblocks which was the set up that made me get into this hobby and recently also heard the kef blade whit same amps … all sounds amazing a lot has to do whit room acoustics to really get to enjoy it more
